The cars are being swapped next week - the white one has had carbon roof put on and the guy that used to have the R8 is sending his grey one up for exactly the same thing!

Yeah, for sure, top guys!! I looked heavily into getting a R35 but just couldn't get past the weight and look... also the ease of making progress very quickly similar sterile effect as the C6, awesome fun though if your licence can stand it.

The other thing was issues with clutches... that sorted now?

Went for the R8 V10 on account of looks and balanced feel on track, just need to put off the twin turbo kit for the time being he he
